Muffin Tin Monday - June 11, 2012

Good Monday morning! It is so nice to wake up to a nice sunny day (finally). The past week has been so dreary and rainy. It felt like I had the winter blues with 5 days of rain, rain, rain. In the middle of that rainy week, I also cut out coffee from my mornings. I switched to an organic dark roast coffee and it gave hubby and I some nasty acne! Who knew that we would dealing with acne at almost 40? I think the caffeine withdrawal affected me quite a bit. Finally, my energy is increasing and my skin is getting better.

With or without coffee, we have to keep going. The kiddies were sick too. I was battling the same bug. Glad to be back on track today!

Today is Nessa's Snack Day at preschool, so I just rounded up her favourites, as requested.

Today's snack: all-beef hotdogs, sliced strawberries, cute mini strawberry and grape fruit skewers, cucumber slices and sliced baby carrots. I'm still a little bummed that 2 of my silicone liners went missing at
preschool from last week. Oh well, back to using the paper liners.

I stumbled across Schneider's Natural hot dogs at the supermarket. They claimed that they only have natural ingredients, so I gave them a try. We don't normally have hot dogs but I figure it is a nice change for Snack Day.

According to the package, the ingredient list has only: beef, water, vinegar, sea salt, cane sugar, celery extract, spice, garlic powder and smoke. Compared to the other brands, this list is short! I was able to fit 5 wieners in 3 muffin cups!
